Product Reference :
Colt Louvre Type ERD

Material:
All principal components manufactured from high quality corrosion resistant aluminium alloy.

Blade pitch and angle:
Blade pitch and angle: 75mm at 45°

Number of louvre banks:
1 (Single bank)

Special Features:
Louvre blades shall be roll-formed to an aerodynamically efficient profile and clipped to concealed structural supporting mullions rather than riveted or screwed, to allow for thermal expansion without distortion along their length.

Mullions shall be concealed at maximum 1250mm centres and their points of support along their length shall be in accordance with prevailing site wind pressures (as calculated and specified by a structural engineer) in accordance with BS 6399 Pt. 2. Mullions will be manufactured from 2mm sheet so that the associated supporting steelwork is kept to a minimum.

Performance:
The louvre system shall achieve a minimum performance coefficient (Cv) of 0.30 (inlet), 0.29 (extract).

The louvre system shall achieve the following weathering effectiveness when tested at all velocities to EN 13030: 2001:

Class A2 - up to 0m/s suction velocity
Class B2 - up to 1.5m/s suction velocity
Class C2 - up to 2.0m/s suction velocity
Class D2 - up to 3.5m/s suction velocity.
